Practical Electricity

The Practical Electricity program gives the students the knowledge and experience for starting in the electrical trade.

The students will learn job site safety with the ten-hour OSHA course. The many different forms of wiring methods, as well as motors and transformers, will be introduced to the students.

Both single- and three-phase systems are presented.

Hands-on labs reflect the classroom theory and National Electrical Code subjects that are taught. Problem solving and troubleshooting techniques reflect real case scenarios. Students are awarded hours toward work experience by the Board of Electricians, as well as hours toward the education requirement for licensure as a journeyman electrician.

Curriculum:

Our curriculum is reviewed every year by top people in the trade, as well as the State regulators such as the Board of Electricians and the Division of Apprentice Training. This allows our programs to be very aggressive and ever-changing with new methods and technology. Also, with the National Electrical Code changing every three years, our material has to be constantly updated to conform to these changes.
